If Durant is going to leave it will be this summer. too many teams he's interested in wont have the cap next year because they'll be forced sign their own guys + other players in case he re-ups in okc.

Bosh/Horford front court
That's as treadmill status as can be
If he wants less than the max..Bosh/Horford front court
It's pretty clear the Heat don't want to give Hassan the max so Horford at $16-18 mil would be the next best option. They could use that extra $7ish mil somewhere else.
Money aside I can halfway understand the logic behind why they might prefer Horford. More range and skilled offensively, good team defender, but nowhere near the rim deterrent or post presence of Whiteside.
If its about money I would rather max the 27 year old who you can still trade in a couple of years if things go south and get a decent return. I was listening to Le Batard this morning and he insinuated that Horford wants to come to Miami and has expressed a willingness to recruit Durant, so that may explain it
Horford's max starts at 26 mil/yr, there is no way he is taking a 8-10 million dollar discount.If he wants less than the max..

Not if he turns into Bynum 2.0 after getting his money and we see him sitting in the crowd at the 2018 Finals looking like this
Bynum was an entitled, lazy s.o.b. he didnt have half the work ethic of whitesideNot if he turns into Bynum 2.0 after getting his money and we see him sitting in the crowd at the 2018 Finals looking like this
Maybe but he made $12 mil this year so it would still be a raise and maybe being able to play in a hispanic market would make it worth it to him.
whiteside aint half the player bynum was breh
